COMPOSER’S NOTE:
This piano trio is inspired by two uses of melody: melody in Hindustani music and melody in the chamber music of Brahms. In Indian Classical music, sometimes a second melodic instrument will accompany the featured soloist. This accompanist generally imitates the improvised solo line slightly behind, creating an interesting tension and release. “Meru” uses this concept of overlapping call-and-response melodies, following patterns of tension and resolution when the lines diverge from each other or dramatically converge to play a melody in unison. -Akshaya Avril Tucker
